Demography in Frontier Indiana, 1820 (ICPSR 7504)

Principal Investigator(s):
Modell, John

Summary:

Social and demographic characteristics of over 23,000
families living in Indiana in 1820 are contained in this dataset. These
data were obtained from the manuscript schedules of the 1820 United
States Census. They were initially recorded on punch cards by the
Geneological Section of the Indiana Historical Society, the cards were
donated to John Modell, at the University of Minnesota, who corrected
some discrepancies which he found in them. Included in the dataset are
variables describing the age, sex, and racial composition of each
household, as well as the location of the households and
characteristics of nearly every household located in Indiana in 1820,
except for those in Daviess county, whose manuscript census schedules
for that year were destroyed.
